Lawsuit alleges unauthorized use of song in Apple TV+ series 'Amazing Stories'
This is why producers purchase E&O insurance on every production.Errors and Omissions protects the distributor and producers from these kind of claims. Amblin had a music supervisor who negotiated a release from a copyright holder of record if the original author had an unknown dispute with a former partner this would be unknown to the producer. The complainant’s attorney is going after the company with the deepest pockets but that company is protected and this is merely a publicity grab that really has no effect on Apple and is a nuisance claim.It maybe cheaper for the producer to strip out the offending song or songs and replace it with another piece of music. That will be decided with the insurer. End result is the complainI got author will have his song removed and the vast audience will not know or care. Whatever monies he receives will pale to the benefit he would have received from having his work in a popular show leading to additional use of his other work.
